Looking for the Free Microlite20/7x/8x/2020 Rules Downloads?

There are well over 100 free downloads of rules (and more) for Microlite20, Microlite2020, Microlite7x, Microlite 81, and their many variants in the Game Download Library area below. These files can be downloaded without creating a membership on this site.

 

 

 

Update (19 Jun 23):

As I mentioned many weeks ago, maintaining the seldom used Wordpress side of this site became too much of a bother, especially as parts of Wordpress are constantly updating and some those updates break things -- like access to this forum. I'm finally had time to remove it. The forum should stop disappearing from view now.

As many of you know, my wife has had MS for about 20 years now. It has gotten to the stage where helping her takes a lot more of my time that it used to. This means visits to this board have become few and far between. I'm looking for a couple of members willing to help moderate this board. Note that if your idea of good moderation is anything similar the way boards like RPG.net are moderated, do not bother volunteering. Good moderation isn't about forcing your opinions, ideological positions, or biases on members via your power to gag and ban, it is about being helpful to all members (even those you don't like/disagree with), cleaning up after spammers, and enforcing the rules with the lightest hand possible and only doing so when the rules are actually broken. If you are interested in any message board moderation position on any board because of the supposed "power" it will give you, you are (IMHO) the wrong person for the job. If you are interested, PM me. It may taken quite a while to reply, unfortunately.

Re: Microlite 20 Trademark, etc.

There are things listed in the OGL that CANNOT be included in your work. Tradenames, Trademarks, etc. etc. But the structure and format of the rules are clearly Open Source. Now if you want to create an online version of something using the term Microlite20 in the title vs giving it proper reference...

Re: A Modern Bard (without magic)

Both I guess... but I also am willing to go to 'extraordinary' effects. Just not magical in nature.

A Modern Bard (without magic)

I am trying to create an interesting version of bard for modern settings without magic. I must admit I am a bit stumped as to what 'powers' to give such a character. Any ideas or suggestions?

Re: Alcohol and Drug Use and Abuse

I think the problem here is that if you use the words 'alcohol and drugs' instead of 'potions' you get a very different response from folks -- perhaps because potions are generally only shown to be beneficial in most fantasy game settings. The reason why people use alcohol and drugs is because they ...

Alcohol and Drug Use and Abuse

I am working on a project based upon Microlite 2020 Complete, but set in the modern age. How would be the best way to deal with alcohol and drug use and perhaps abuse?

Re: How to use Feeblemind on monsters with only hit dice?

It seems to me that the simplest way to apply this is to simply apply the deduction if and when it applies to any activity that would require a MIND Skill Check or Saving Throw. Otherwise ignore it.

Re: Flexible magic/spell systems (for m20 variant)

You are probably right about 4x5. I like the idea but I have yet to be able to implement it in a reasonable way.

Re: Flexible magic/spell systems (for m20 variant)

I think my real problem with these 'Schools of Magic' is that I just cannot wrap my brain around how it works. I like the 4x5 system because I understand not only what happens but how it works, even if I have not been able to implement to my satisfaction. Example: healing someone of cancer. 1. Use t...

Re: Flexible magic/spell systems (for m20 variant)

Also, there needs to be necromancy if not a separate school. How can you have evil magicians without necromancy of some sort?
